Students and teachers in the Philippines are making their way across a new landscape, one where education is either made better or worse by artificial intelligence tools in education.For some, there is hesitance to accept new technologies like AI in the process of learning or teaching, bringing to mind worries ofout of their education. For others, there is a more tacit acceptance of the limitations and possibilities of adding such tools to educators’ and students’ arsenal for learning.
Reyes added, however, that he was also “fascinated by how AI works, and how I can use it as a way for me to get inspiration for my work, or as a way I could make things more efficient and less erroneous.”For Gabrielle Anne Uy, also a BS Information Technology Entrepreneurship sophomore at Ateneo, the tone was entirely different.
“With this,” Uy added, “I could tell that it was simply a tool; it wasn’t something that you can just magically ask to write a paper from thin air. So, as I started seeing it as such, my expectations and experience wholly changed.”These students are learning how AI tools can be useful from their instructor, Joseph Ilagan.
Ilagan also uses image-creation AI tools to quickly generate visual content he can use with his syllabi.AI providing feedback“As we helped student groups create case studies for publication, we had ChatGPT generate a starter set of Teaching Notes. With a few tweaks, we were able to come up with something we could use.”

The size of the market for all pet owners residing within urbanized cities in the Philippines is 5.8 million, which is a conservative percentage of the entire pet owners count of 11.6 million as of 2020. But Uy said he had expected to get more from the tool, saying, “I’m not so convinced with the feedback it gave because it was too generic and in terms of actual validation, I was hoping it could somehow give a rough estimate of how big the problem is and probably a bit of market info.”Dr. Roberto Galang, Dean of the John Gokongwei School of Management at Ateneo de Manila University, said students need to be exposed to AI and AI tools in an academic setting.
